Influential Factors of College Students’ Mobile Phone Recycling Behaviors

Abstract:

As China’s rapid development in economy and technology, people’s consumption concept transforms fast. Thus, the mobile phone replacement cycle becomes shorter and shorter. Recycling wasted mobile phone is beneficial to reuse of resource and decline in environmental pollution. Researches show that, college students, whose consumption concept is between adult and teenager, have both rational and irrational behavior trend and have largest probability of changing mobile phones. This article analyzes characteristics of college students’ recycling behavior and its influencing factors. Then, relevant suggestions are provided to enhance recycling efficiency.
